Rainwater harvesting and management – policy and regulations in Germany
This paper discusses the most important policies and regulations supporting the decentralized management, harvesting and utilization of rainwater in Germany, where such measures have been increasingly applied during the last few decades. The development and implementation of specific policies and regulations contributed significantly to that trend. They also work as incentives for the ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Ground Water, Surface Water, and Leachate
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows ground water to be treated without being brought to the surface, resulting in significant cost savings. In situ treatment, however, generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the process is more ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows soil to be treated without being excavated and transported, resulting in potentially significant cost savings. However, in situ treatment generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in soil and aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the ...

What Is An Altitude Test Chamber?
Pressure or altitude testing is essential for military, industrial, and consumer applications where products or components need to function or be transported in low-pressure environments or withstand rapid decompression in combination with climate control. If your products encounter these environments, or you need to conform to a military or aviation test standard including but not limited to ...

Effects of climate change on aquatic invasive species and implications for management and research
Global change stressors, including climate change and variability and changes in land use, are major drivers of ecosystem alterations. Invasive species, which are non-native species that cause environmental or economic damages or human-health impacts, also contribute to ecosystem changes. The interactions between stressors and invasive species, although not well understood, may exacerbate the ...

The legal system of climate change and the mechanisms of control in the European Union
The paper describes the need for increased environmental protection due to the continuing environmental degradation in Europe and worldwide. In particular, it analyses all the steps and mechanisms that the EU embarked on in recent years and the measures to be undertaken in the near future with the help not only from the EU and international law but also with the thorough analysis of case law. ...

Impact of Climate Change: Causes & Effects
In order to strive in this highly competitive world, everyone from a student to a working professional is busy chasing their goals, targets, and deadlines. It is important to remember that since most countries have employed the capitalistic model to drive their economic sectors, it has automatically structured our world in a way that distracts people from focusing on the subjects that are of ...

Checklist for Loading Dock Safety & Fall Protection
Loading docks are busy places. And that’s a good thing—that means projects are moving and your business is strong. But the busier you are, the more apt you are to overlook safety. This can be particularly true during specific seasons, like the holiday rush. Even the most insignificant things can cause an accident and slow down production. Since more than one-quarter of all industrial ...

Coasian economics and the management of international aviation emissions
The recent decision by the EU Parliament supporting an emissions tax and subsequent carbon trading scheme for European airlines provides the structural foundation for an exploration of the role of Coasian economics in emissions abatements in the international aviation industry. The paper begins by outlining Pigouvian taxation in aviation and considers, from a business context, the potential ...

Water and climate variability in developing countries: the case of Uganda
Water safety and climate mitigation measures are global concerns. In this study, climate variability and related health implications were examined. The data included 11,101 outpatient records in the Luwero district from the Ugandan Ministry of Health database, the records of 2,358 outpatients connected with water-related health risks linked to climate variability (diseases such as cholera, ...

GENAQ: Water from the air
Do you know the working principle of GENAQ atmospheric generators? Its operation is similar to the rain process, that is, our generators extract water from the humidity of the air by condensation. We go one step beyond what nature generates in the form of rain making the water drinkable thanks to a specific water treatment, so that it is optimal for human consumption. All this procedure is ...

Burnsville Interceptor Rehabilitation - Case Study
With a budget exceeding $100 million a year in wastewater pipe capital improvements over the next several years, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services takes its job of protecting the wastewater infrastructure of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area's nearly 3 million residents very seriously. MCES operates eight wastewater treatment plants and 600 miles of interceptor sewers ...

Quantification of increased flood risk due to global climate change for urban river management planning
Global climate change is expected to affect future rainfall patterns. These changes should be taken into account when assessing future flooding risks. This study presents a method for quantifying the increase in flood risk caused by global climate change for use in urban flood risk management. Flood risk in this context is defined as the product of flood damage potential and the probability of ...

British scientist claims CCS is the solution of climate change
Oxford professor argues that climate change can be solved by forcing the fossil fuel industry to implement CCS to bury their waste products. Climate change can be solved by making all producers of carbon-based fuels accountable for the disposal of the carbon dioxide their fuels ultimately give off as a condition of remaining in business. This was the proposal put forward last week by one of ...

Acid mine drainage in semi-arid regions: the extent of the problem in the waters of reservoirs in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (SW Spain)
There are many reservoirs in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), SW Spain, which receive contributions from watercourses affected by acid mine drainage processes, characterised by low pH values and high concentrations of heavy metals and sulphates. When they reach the reservoirs, the waters increase its pH, which will cause most of the metal load carried by the mining channel to precipitate into the ...

Climate change and human insecurity
Recently, the question of link or the relationship between the global climate change and the level of economic activity becomes the major issue and comes to the focal point of research. In this study, we try to find out the linkage between environment and economic growth. Let us consider a certain level of income, up to which one may reasonably expect high green house gas-intensive income growth ...

Projection of future streamflow changes of the Pearl River basin in China using two delta-change methods
Considerable biases in precipitation simulations in climate models have required the adoption of delta-change approaches to construct future precipitation scenarios for hydrological climate change impact studies. However, different delta-change methods yield different future precipitation scenarios that might significantly affect the projected future streamflow. To assess these effects, two ...

Cross-scale governance and the analysis of policy implementation for water management, with particular regard to climate adaptation, industrial pollution and impacts of agriculture
This paper explores cross-scale governance between the European Union (EU) and Member State level arising from the identification of key policy priorities by stakeholders in six river basins across Europe and their relationship to EU policy development and implementation. Particular emphasis is given to interpretation of Good Ecological Status in implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, ...
